Miss KKTC

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miss KKTC is the annual national beauty contest for unmarried women between the ages of 16 and 25 from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus . The competition was first held in 1987. The full name is Miss Kuzey Kıbrıs (German: Miss North Cyprus ). Because it is very long and unsuitable for international use, the abbreviation is mostly used. In Turkish , the term KKTC Güzellik Yarışması is occasionally used . The inscription on the 2007 winner's sash reads Kuzey Kıbrıs Güzeli 2007 .

The main sponsors are the television station Kıbrıs Genç TV and the model agency Günkut . The owner of the agency, Bülent Günkut , is the organizer of the competition.

At the 22nd edition in early August 2008, Hayriye Aliriza was chosen. Özlem Kaplan also received the title Miss North Cyprus from a competing organizer .

The winners or finalists can not take part in well-known international competitions due to the political situation. However, some have been or will be delegated to less significant elections:

  • Miss Asia Pacific : 1987 and 1988, both in Hong Kong
  • Miss Globe International : with interruptions from 1990 to 1999 and 2001 to 2003, each in Turkey , 2000 in Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus . No participation since 2004 (held in Albania ).
  • Miss Kuzey Kıbrıs 2008 was supposed to represent the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in the Miss Cyprus International , Miss EU Beauty Contest and Miss Fashion TV competitions .

International significance

The winners or finalists do not take part in major international competitions because the organizer does not have the appropriate licenses.

In the Republic of Cyprus , the Star Kypros competition is held , which claims all of Cyprus, but it is only held in Greek . The organizer - the Carlsberg Brewery  - holds the international concessions for Miss Universe , Miss World , Miss Europe and Miss International . As a result, the top winners in this competition will represent Cyprus in the aforementioned international beauty competitions.
